I Will Not Bow

Image Copyrighted by Pixabay.com

You don’t know the cost of the oil in my alabaster box. 

I’m not about to waste a single drop.

I will not bow to your expectations.

I will not bow to your manipulations.

I will not bow to the idol that you tried to make me.

I will no longer “fake me”

Cause it’s taken a lifetime to awake me.

And I’m not about to forsake me.

The me that I have just begun to find

The me that is wholly mine

To give away as a LIVING sacrifice

Only I know the true price

I’ve had to pay

Along the way

So, come what may

I will not bow to another

Not one single “other”

Cause all else are just idols

And I’m done with performance recitals

Though life is a stage

There’s another war to wage

Behind the scenes

One for which I give my entire being

Just to live fully aware of my oneness

And the doneness

Of my intimacy with my Lord

So, I throw all else but Him overboard

And I draw my Sword,

The Apple of My Eye

For which I don’t even have to try

To engage with by struggle

I can’t even be subtle

Cause I’m so in love with Him

I can’t even begin

To describe

I just continue to abide

And release all the lies

As I cling to my Liberating Truth

Bearing the fruit

Of intimacy

To the measure of infinity.

You don’t know the cost of the oil in my alabaster box. 

I’m not about to waste a single drop.

I will not bow to your expectations.

I will not bow to your manipulations.

I will not bow to the idol that you tried to make me.

I will no longer “fake me”.

Cause it’s taken a lifetime to awake me.

And I’m not about to forsake me.

I WILL NOT BOW.

NOT NOW.

NOR EVER.

My Liberating Truth - Song of Worship

I'm so in love with You
So in love with You
My liberating Truth
And I worship You
In the beauty of Your Holiness
I worship You
In the power of Your Majesty
I worship You
In the splendor of Your Glory
I exchange all that I am
For the Great I AM
For You are My Liberating Truth
And I am consumed by You

I relinquish all that I am
My desire and plan
I lay at Your feet 
Just to feel Your heart beat
I surrender all
On my face I fall
I relinquish all
For the treasure of Your Glory
For You are My Liberating Truth
And I am consumed by You

SPOKEN:
I'm so in love with You
I'm ONE with You
I'm undone in You
I'm a son in You
I'm whole in You
Spirit / souled in You
Flesh become Word
Your voice become heard
Christ become manifest
Striving become rest
Darkness become Light
Wrong become right
Blind become sight
Far become near
Brought up from the rear
Empty become satisfied
Lost become guide
All cause I abide
In Your Love
And perceive like the dove
Single focused on You
My One and only Truth
Having become fully new
With nothing left to do
But trust in You
Replacing every limit
And every gimmick
With Liberating Truth
The very essence of You
I'm so in love with You
I'm ONE with You
I'm undone in You
I'm a son in You
I'm whole in You
Spirit / souled in You.

I'm so in love with You
So in love with You
My liberating Truth
And I worship You
In the beauty of Your Holiness
I worship You
In the power of Your Majesty
I worship You
In the splendor of Your Glory
I exchange all that I am
For the Great I AM
For You are My Liberating Truth
And I am consumed by You

My Hiding Place - Song of Worship

My Hiding Place

You are my Hiding Place

You are my Hiding Place

I gaze

Upon the countenance of Your face

You are my Hiding Place

I SEE the fullness of Your glory

I BE the fullness of Your praise

For You are my Hiding Place

You are my Hiding Place

You are my Hiding Place

You wrap Your arms around me

Your Love surrounds me

For You are my Hiding Place

You are my Hiding Place

I am Your Revealing Place

I am Your Revealing Place

You gaze

Upon the countenance of my face

For I am Your Revealing Place

You SEE a reflection of Your glory

Cause I BE the fullness of Your praise

For I am Your Revealing Place

I am Your Revealing Place

I am Your Revealing Place

Every other passion loses me

Cause Your Love infuses me

For I am Your Revealing Place

I am Your Revealing Place

This Place - Spoken Word

This place

That inhabits time and space
Yet, eternally beholds Your face
This place
That You sent forth in Your name
To proclaim Your fame
This place 
A fully aligned triune being
That is finally seeing,
Freeing the internal capacity to know You
That I may show You
That I owe You
My all and all
So, I answer Your call 
And I fall
On my face 
That I may embrace
Your feet
And weep
Till I become Your footstool
A crushed jewel
Crushed by Your Love
Descended upon by the Dove
Of Your Spirit 
I can hardly bear it
I am reminded 
And blinded
By the revelation that You formed me
And have now transformed me
Into this place
That inhabits time and space
A place of habitation
A sign and wonder to the nations
I have BECOME the mission field
I have been SEALED
As to Your Spirit I yield
I am the Earth
Of incomprehensible worth
The footstool of Your choice
That is transformed by Your voice
Yet, I am Heaven
Cleansed from all leaven
My heart is Your throne
As I have become fully Your own
I am supernatural 
So much more than factual
I am Truth
Conceived by You
I am this place!
That inhabits time and space 
Yet, eternally beholds Your face
I am this place!
I am this place!

Lover of My Soul

Lover of My Soul

Lover of my soul,
Your Spirit's in my body
Your breath is in my lungs
Your beat is in my heart.
That's why I can't live without You
No, I can't live without You
Lord, You're so amazing
You're so amazing to me.

Lover of My Soul,

No one really knows

How far You had to go

When You reached down low

And poured Your Love

Into the depths of my soul.

When I look into your eyes,

I realize, the surprise of Your love

Has no disguise.

When I look into Your eyes,

I realize, You’re the Lover of My Soul,

And You alone make me whole.

 

Lover of My Soul
Your Love was no illusion

It was I, who was refusin’

Cause Truth was an intrusion

And my life, a delusion.

Till I looked into Your eyes

And realized,

I would not be denied

No matter how many times I failed and tried.

In You I could confide.

You're the Lover of My Soul.

No one really knows

How far You had to go

When You reached down low

And poured Your love

Into the depths of my soul.

CHORUS

Lover of my soul,
Your Spirit's in my body
Your breath is in my lungs
Your beat is in my heart.
That's why I can't live without You
No, I can't live without You
Lord, You're so amazing
You're so amazing to me.
Lover of my soul,
No one really knows

How far You had to go

When You reached down low

And poured Your Love

Into the depths of my soul.

When I look into your eyes,

I realize, the surprise of Your love

Has no disguise.

When I look into Your eyes,

I realize, You’re the Lover of My Soul,

And You alone make me whole.

Jesus, You’re the Lover of My Soul!

Healing Rain

Healing Rain

(Prophetic response to worship song, “Healing Rain Is Falling Down” by Michael W. Smith released by Holy Spirit during worship at Beit Yisrael)

 

Healing rain is falling down

The scent of Yeshua’s presence is all around

Not a single drop is falling to the ground

Cause each rain drop is falling upon those who are bound.

 

Those who were lost are suddenly found

And the chains are loosed at the Shofar’s sound

Those touched by the Healing rain

Will never be the same

The chains of shame

Are loosed in Yeshua’s name

Immersed in His rain

We shall never be the same.

Immersed in His presence

We shall give Him reverence.

Immersed in His healing rain

We are sealed by Yeshua’s name.

Yes!  We are sealed ones who will increase His fame.

Healing rain is falling down

The scent of Yeshua’s presence is all around

Not a single drop is falling to the ground

Cause each rain drop is falling upon those who are bound.

 

Immersed in His healing rain

We are sealed by Yeshua’s name.

Yes!  We are sealed ones who will increase His fame.

We've Become ONE - Spoken Word

I tell you, God is doing a new thing. I am experiencing it, and I know by the Spirit that it is not just me, but it is the collective tabernacle/temple/sanctuary of worshippers. I am experiencing an overflow of creative worship. God is taking me back to earlier writings, spoken words, songs and ADDING to them. He is also outpouring anew... I know this is just a part of the fulfillment of the word that He ministered to me concerning "Dig Deep into Your Storehouses" that I shared in an earlier post in December 2010. In the midst of worship this morning the Holy Spirit brought this forth. I stood in the midst of worship writing as the Holy Spirit brought forth the words...

We’ve Become ONE 

October 28, 2012

I hear Your voice calling me,
“Come closer!
Step into My liberty
Into the place where you are totally free
Dwelling in Me
The place we become ONE
As God’s Holy Son
I AM the Head
You are My Body
My Bride
So come abide
Let My train fill the temple
As My praise you render
You’re not the borrower
But the lender
No longer a pretender
But a hypocrisy ender
You portray My grace
As you seek My face
And the presence of sin is erased
Whatever you bind on Earth IS bound
The lost are found
And whatever you loose IS loosed
The enemy can’t refuse
As the Good News 
Sets the masses loose.”

I hear your voice calling me
My eyes are opened and I see
I’ve stepped into Your liberty
Into the place where I am totally free
Dwelling in You 
We’ve become ONE
As God’s holy Son.

Oh God, Thou Art My God!

Oh God, Thou Art My God!

Psalm 63:1-2

Oh God, Thou art My God!

Oh God, Thou art My God! (Repeat)

Oh God, Thou art My God!

Early will I seek Thee

Cause my eyes longeth to see Thee.

I seek Your face.

I seek Your grace.

I seek the outpouring of Your presence in this place.

My soul thirstth for Thee.

My flesh longeth for Thee.

A whole lot more of Thee

And less of me.

I’m living in a dry and thirsty land

And I know this isn’t Your perfect plan.

Oh God, Thou art My God!

Oh God, Thou art My God! (Repeat)

Oh God, Thou art My God!

I’m Your daughter

Crying out for Living Water.

Let it rain

And transform this wilderness terrain.

I long to see Thy power and glory

As I’ve seen You in the sanctuary.

I know Your presence isn’t buried,

Cause You and I are married,

And You’ve called me to carry

Your presence and glory

As a demonstration of Your redemption story.

Oh God, Thou art My God!

Oh God, Thou art My God! (Repeat)

The Anthem of the Body and Bride of Messiah

The Anthem of the Body and Bride of Messiah

My lips can't seal

For the rest of my days

Awaiting the reentrance

Of the Shekinah glory,

The completion of Your redemption story,

And the rising of Zion

As The majestic Lion

Of the tribe of Judah

My Husband, King and Ruler

Expels every leaven

That opposes the Kingdom of Heaven.

Thy Kingdom come

Thy will be done

On Earth even as it is in Heaven

Expelling every form of leaven.

My lips can't seal
Cause my God is real.
My hands be raisin'
As I worship and praise HIm.
For the rest of my days
I'll be amazed
At His wondrous ways!
